Line 78:
* Seen in the live-action ''[[Rocky and Bullwinkle]]'': {{spoiler|Bullwinkle is too dense for mind control to have any effect.}}
** Also in the original cartoons. {{spoiler|"No brain, no effect."}}
* In ''[[Star Wars]] V: The Empire Strikes Back'', R2-D2 gets swallowed by a swamp monster on Dagobah. A few seconds later, he gets spat out. Luke comments, "You're lucky you don't taste very good." (the [[Re CutRecut]] inexplicably changed it to "You're lucky you got out of there.")
* The villain in ''[[Barbarella]]'' attempts to kill her by [[Out with a Bang|pleasuring her to death in his Excessive Machine]]. She, however, can take so much pleasure that the machine overloads instead.
** And yet, somehow, the giant evil-eating blob that engulfs the city at the end is so repulsed by her innocence that it spits out Barbarella ''and'' a villainess who just happens to be next to her.
Line 143:
== Tabletop Games ==
* In one old module for ''[[Call of Cthulhu (tabletop game)]]'', players have to stop a plot to link the mind of an [[Eldritch Abomination]] to the psyches of all humanity, by which the villains intend to reduce the human race to its gibbering worshippers. If they fail to stop it, there's a campaign-preserving [[Author's Saving Throw|GM Saving Throw]] option of having the villains' scheme run its course successfully... only to have the ''abomination'' be driven insane, by whatever standard of "sanity" might apply to Lovecraftian horrors, because the sheer number of human beings on Earth is so great that their cumulative psyches can overpower its own singular mind.
* The Kroot in ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'' evolve by [[Mega Manning|assimilating the genetic material]] of what they eat, progressing certains groups along specific developmental lines (to the point where every single animal on their homeworld Pech is a Kroot derivative, their ancestors filling all available niches). However, the Shapers (basically guides as to what should be eaten) instruct their brethren to avoid [[Face Full of Alien Wingwong|Genestealer hybrids]] or those [[The Corruption|tainted with Chaos]] due to their potential to corrupt the entire species.
 
 
Line 149:
* In ''[[Nethack]]'', being swallowed whole while wearing a ring of slow digestion causes the devouring monster to vomit the hero out.
** Unsurprisingly, eating one of the [[Horsemen of the Apocalypse|Riders of the Apocalypse]] has an even worse result.
* In ''[[Blaz BlueBlazBlue]]'', [[The Worm That Walks|Arakune]] tends to [[I'm a Humanitarian|eat vanquished opponents]] in his story mode... but gives [[Highly-Visible Ninja|Bang]] a pass. See, Arakune is obsessed with increasing his knowledge, and [[Idiot Hero|eating Bang would probably make him dumber]].
** [[Big Eater]] [[Catgirl|Tao]] (who attempts/considers eating various other characters in story mode) also chooses not to eat Arakune on the grounds of how disgusting [[The Nicknamer|Black Squiggly]] looks.
* Charlie Ho-Tep in ''[[Sam and Max]]'', the ventriloquist's dummy that unlocks Max's psychic ventriloquism power, used to belong to Junior, the youngest of the Elder Gods. Junior hated him; played with him for about ten minutes, and then chucked him aside, declaring him to be creepy as shit and wanting nothing more to do with him. That's right; he was too creepy for the brain-melting abomination against reality.
